Summary/Abstract: The archival documents concerning the Bydgoszcz Branch of Polska Krajowa Kasa Pożyczkowa have been barely preserved. Press releases concerning its activities may indicate the main directions of its operation. Undoubtedly, the legal groundwork was generally laid in commonly binding normative acts. The Bydgoszcz Branch was opened after the city government was handed over to Polish administration. That fact is likely to undermine the argument that the Bank supported German interests. Although this cannot be stated unequivocally, I do hope that over time more archival collections will be created to enable further research in this area.
